Abstract: Disclosed are a hydrophobic oil-adsorbent material that is capable of adsorbing oil and separating oil from water and methods for production and application of said material, suitable for collecting and removing hydrocarbons and other contaminations of oil content from solid surfaces and water.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a hydrophobic, oil-adsorbent material separating oil from water as well as methods for production and application of said material, suitable for collecting and removing hydrocarbons and other contaminations of oil content from solid surface and water as well. During the method the adsorbent material is made from a chalk base raw material with an auxiliary material and during preparing the adsorbent material, ground and dried chalk (CaO) is used, which is characterized by that, during preparing the adsorbent material 29.3-86.2 mass percent, preferably 39.1-72.84 mass percent of ground and dried chalk (CaO) is applied as raw material, and during steady mixing 3.45-11.75 mass percent, preferably 4.12-9.21 mass percent of liquid adsorbent agent and liquid catalyst are added as auxiliary materials, the composition of which is 2.95-7.75 mass percent, preferably 4.15-5.85 mass percent of liquid adsorbent agent and 1.2-3.4 mass percent, preferably 1.34-1.
